[1.7.10] Make Entity Render from really far away

[gegy1000]

I have an entity, that is really big, I want it to render from further away though.  I've tried changing the tracking range when I register the entity, but that has a max range too.

I doubt that is possible without interacting directly with server property "viewDistance".

 

Maximum range it 16*distance+16.

From what I remember server only supporst distance up to 15 so anything beyond 256 is impossible for server to send to client.

 

You could access viewDistance property (maybe reflection is enough) and edit it, but it might be autocorrecting itself (idk, there are calls to setDist in ticking method, I didn't realy looked further).

 

How is 256 not enough?

As I said, this is a REALY big entity

How big is "REALLY" big? Maybe you can post an image or give us the bounding box size?
